Wimbledon qualifying began with a busy day of action on Monday, when a host of players successfully took one step closer to a main-draw spot at the grass-court major.
The #NextGenATP stars Alexander Blockx and Nicolai Budkov Kjaer both began their debut Wimbledon campaigns with a win at the qualifying venue in Roehampton, south-west London. The 20-year-old Blockx, who is sixth in the PIF ATP Live Race To Jeddah, defeated Facundo Mena 7-5, 6-1, while 18-year-old Budkov Kjaer overcame Bai Yan 7-6(3), 6-2. Budkov Kjaer was the 2024 boys' singles champion at SW19.
Top seed Marton Fucsovics, a two-time ATP Tour champion, also enjoyed a straight-sets victory. The Hungarian defeated Jurij Rodionov 6-4, 6-3. Meanwhile Cristian Garin, who reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals in 2022 and is a former Top 20 player in the PIF ATP Rankings, downed Francesco Maestrelli 6-3, 6-4.
